00:00:00To be continued...
00:00:30It gives me great pleasure to launch Burrage's spring-into-summer fashion collection.
00:00:48The simple fact that King Harold had to straightway hurry south from Stamford Bridge
00:00:53to repel the Norman invasion is perhaps the decisive factor in William's victory.
00:01:00D-A-F-T-N-U-P.
00:01:08I've received a heartfelt appeal for Frieda Yelland of Blontage in Oxfordshire
00:01:12to get in touch with her dad Bernard.
00:01:15Dad says he loves you and misses you very much
00:01:17and just wants to know you're all right.
00:01:19When my late colleague Tom Duggan took this seat in March,
00:01:25it may have only been by 18 votes,
00:01:28but let me assure you,
00:01:30this constituency is more to me than just a swing seat.
00:01:35It's my home.
00:01:36In, out, in, out.
00:01:49Smirk?
00:02:05No.
00:02:06Drink?
00:02:08The odd glass.
00:02:09Are you sleeping all right?
00:02:19Diana?
00:02:21Diana, dinner, dear?
00:02:23Yes, Mrs. Todd?
00:02:24Don't want to make too late of a night, dear, do we?
00:02:26That was tomorrow.
00:02:27Just five minutes, Mrs. Todd!
00:02:29Don't fret yourself, Moo.
00:02:30It's a woman's prerogative.
00:02:31It's a woman's prerogative.
00:03:01And that's our static news just in.
00:03:31DRIVERS TRAVELING TO OXFORD ARE ADVISED TO AVOID THE CENTER OF TOWN...
00:03:38Someone's got a spring in his step.
00:03:40Have they?
00:03:41Starts packing in today, doesn't he? Properly. I mean, at the station.
00:03:45Well, if the medic's passed him, eh, Warren?
00:03:48Fred, remember what you said after that drink.
00:03:53I'll get it!
00:03:55Don't expect too much.
00:03:56I'm in.
00:03:57You've lost weight.
00:04:01What have they been feeding you out with Whitney?
00:04:03Mockery and humiliation, mostly.
00:04:06Of course.
00:04:08Sir?
00:04:09How's the leg?
00:04:11Oh, fine. Fine.
00:04:14If we'd have kept to another station I'd had my way, it was, um...
00:04:19Budget.
00:04:20I know.
00:04:22Something about carrying Deadwood, wasn't it?
00:04:24Mr. Bright said.
00:04:27You might want to avoid the broad.
00:04:33Because of the parade.
00:04:40Today this city celebrates 900 years of history.
00:04:44900 years since these islands fell beneath the Norman yoke.
00:04:48Is there something, perhaps, for the bulldog spirit that we've never been conquered again?
00:04:55Though many have tried.
00:04:58Ah.
00:05:00I would also like to welcome back to the station D.C. Morse.
00:05:03Who, after four months counting paperclips at County, returns to us, if only assures me, much restored.
00:05:11So, thank you.
00:05:12No.
00:05:15Well, remorse, you'll be pleased to be off flight duties and return to your more general
00:05:35responsibilities, Nadat.
00:05:36Sir?
00:05:37Yeah.
00:05:38Well, eventful year for you, one way or another.
00:05:41Shot and the opera lunatic, and then, to top it, all your father, Dan Bedler.
00:05:51Back on the horse, yes?
00:05:55Well, you have a minute, Thursday.
00:06:02I'll leave you to get settled in.
00:06:08How is he?
00:06:10I ask with no, sir.
00:06:13He's young.
00:06:16You'll mend.
00:06:40The ABC said that she hungered in her cards the previous Friday.
00:06:43I know my daughter, Freda, wouldn't just go away and not tell me.
00:06:48It was planned then, not like she just disappeared off the street.
00:06:51Look, leave it with us.
00:06:59Any news, we'll let you know.
00:07:01My colleague will see you out.
00:07:03It's Mr Yellen, isn't it, from Montage.
00:07:16You came to Whitney last week.
00:07:18I've been all over.
00:07:21What makes you think that Freda's come to Oxford?
00:07:23Well, I don't know.
00:07:25She has.
00:07:26I'm just trying everywhere.
00:07:27I mean, she'd have called or wrote sooner and freck me like this.
00:07:30She was going off.
00:07:32Oh, damn, look, I meant to give this to the other fella.
00:07:37Can you help me?
00:07:39Please?
00:07:40Yeah, of course.
00:07:41Try not to worry.
00:07:43Anything in it?
00:07:45Two weeks.
00:07:46Girls, free, white, single and over 21.
00:07:51Probably run off with a milkman.
00:07:56Pick up?
00:07:57Probably run off with a milkman.
00:07:58Okay.
00:08:23Melissa!
00:08:24Get off me!
00:08:26It's just a bit of pain, that's all.
00:08:28We've got a snake guard.
00:08:31Come along, miss.
00:08:47Mawson.
00:08:49Hello, matey.
00:08:51You're a sight for sore eyes and no mistake.
00:08:53Back full time?
00:08:54Oh, looks like it.
00:08:55Want to know, miss?
00:08:56Well, you heard about my sergeant's, I suppose.
00:08:59Three lousy points.
00:09:00If I first.
00:09:01Yeah.
00:09:02Give up.
00:09:03Right, brace yourself.
00:09:05It's a bit, uh.
00:09:10All right.
00:09:13Wait a minute.
00:09:19Name?
00:09:20I'll take your pick.
00:09:21There's about two dozen different business cards in his wallet.
00:09:23Witnesses.
00:09:24You know, the traffic warden was writing a ticket when he hit,
00:09:30but nobody saw him jump.
00:09:32The porter says access to the roof is easy enough if people
00:09:35don't mind to go up there.
00:09:36Go up there.
00:09:50Off heights, are we?
00:09:51Lately, funnily enough.
00:09:53Hmm.
00:09:54Not how I'd my own quietus make, but he wouldn't have known much about it.
00:10:02Instantaneous.
00:10:03Dead before his mind had a chance to catch up with the rest of him.
00:10:06Which means of these?
00:10:07Commonly removed in suicide.
00:10:08Automatic gesture.
00:10:09And, of course, the added benefit in this instance is that he wouldn't have seen what was coming towards him.
00:10:16Cause?
00:10:17Something of a Salam Gundy.
00:10:20Multiple catastrophic injuries, do you, to be going on with?
00:10:24Chapter and verse, once I've had a rummage.
00:10:27Nothing suspicious?
00:10:28Only you.
00:10:29Morse?
00:10:38You're just jealous.
00:10:40Now, what have I told you, hmm?
00:10:42When people say or do nasty things, what do you do?
00:10:45Stare back and smile.
00:10:50Any word as to what was behind it?
00:10:51Someone said perhaps they've been a fooling out over a boyfriend.
00:10:53No, though, Hannah doesn't have a boyfriend.
00:10:55She's actually waiting for Mr. Wright.
00:10:57Right. But listen, what I can tell you is that she's shooting a commercial for the television on Friday with the racing driver, Danny Griffin.
00:11:05What's it for, Tom?
00:11:06Sunlight salt powder. Formula One.
00:11:09Very big new campaign. It's very now. It's very with it. And Diana's very excited about it.
00:11:14And as to anything else, we're just here to run the competition.
00:11:17Oxford Heat's still going ahead, then?
00:11:18Yeah, absolutely. Otherwise, there'd be dozens of disappointed young beautiful ladies.
00:11:22So, yeah, the show must go on, and it will do with Cowley Lido on Monday night.
00:11:26Thanks very much.
00:11:32How is she?
00:11:35I'd like five minutes with our stupid little bitches.
00:11:40We're thinking suicide currently, sir, but obviously more news to follow.
00:11:45What's the word on Icarus, then?
00:11:47Um, multiple catastrophic injuries, according to Dr. Debrin.
00:11:51But we'll know more once he's completed the post-mortem.
00:11:54You're up to that?
00:11:56Wouldn't want to overface you. First day back.
00:11:58Oh, I'll find so.
00:11:59Once more, under the breach, eh?
00:12:00Excellent.
00:12:02Well, splendid you're settling back in.
00:12:05Splendid.
00:12:08Absence makes.
00:12:13There should be a notebook.
00:12:16There's a notebook at the scene.
00:12:18What's the thing that came back, mate?
00:12:20Receipts?
00:12:23For petrol and motor oil from a garage out towards Shotover.
00:12:26There's another for breakfast at Lyons and Carfax this morning.
00:12:30What would a man planning on killing himself want with receipts, then it?
00:12:33Force of habit.
00:12:34He'd also tied a bit of string around his finger.
00:12:36A reminder to do something, wouldn't you think?
00:12:38Maybe he'd done it.
00:12:39Either way, we need to know who he was.
00:12:42All right, stick with it for now.
00:12:43See what you can dig up.
00:12:44Thank you, sir.
00:12:45Not back off light duties, five minutes, and already it's foul play.
00:12:50Just like old times.
00:13:06Roy?
00:13:07Hello, sir.
00:13:09Come on.
00:13:10Oxford Police.
00:13:11Much trade?
00:13:12Ha-ha.
00:13:13Not since a bypass.
00:13:17Holiday camp round the back had it worse.
00:13:19Close now.
00:13:21Sold three cans of oil yesterday.
00:13:24Youngster reigned lunch, woman after tea, and Mr. Meeker, bae, eight.
00:13:30How old did he be, Mr. Meeker?
00:13:33Reckon he was about early 40s.
00:13:36Biggish fella.
00:13:40What was he driving?
00:13:42Lincoln.
00:13:43Continental.
00:13:46Did he make any mention of where he was headed?
00:13:48Ask for directions?
00:13:49No.
00:13:50No, he didn't need to.
00:13:52Stopped here, didn't he?
00:13:56How long did he check in for?
00:13:58Last night and tonight.
00:14:00Did he give a home address?
00:14:01In the register.
00:14:03He stayed once or twice, I think, last few weeks.
00:14:07Dentist.
00:14:07No, Brady?
00:14:11No.
00:14:12No.
00:14:12No.
00:14:12No.
00:14:13No.
00:14:14No.
00:14:14No.
00:14:15No.
00:14:29No.
00:14:30No.
00:14:30900 years of history, and the best that they can come up with
00:14:53to represent the contribution my sex made to this nation
00:14:56is Miss Great Britain.
00:14:58Have you got a daughter?
00:15:00What I might or might not have isn't an issue, Miss.
00:15:04So you'd be happy to see her on the back of a float with everybody staring at her, would
00:15:07you?
00:15:08You leaning off your starter pistol like that put a lot of folk in fear of their lives.
00:15:11Fear?
00:15:12Do you know how many women are beaten or die in this country each week at the hands of
00:15:16their boyfriends or husbands or fathers?
00:15:18As a matter of fact, Miss, I do.
00:15:19Probably better than you.
00:15:24Fractured skull, macerated aorta.
00:15:28Any of which would have done for him.
00:15:35Stomach contents.
00:15:37The full English.
00:15:39About an hour before he put Sir Isaac's law of universal gravitation to the test.
00:15:45Any word as to who he was?
00:15:46Name's Mika.
00:15:47Dentist, apparently.
00:15:48With teeth like that.
00:15:52I've seen better Nashers running at you, Toxeter.
00:15:54You didn't have a notebook come in, did you?
00:16:06There was a notebook at the scene of the crime on the roof of the car amongst those other
00:16:09personal effects.
00:16:10And a pathologist, not a road sweeper.
00:16:14If something's been pinched, I should call the police.
00:16:17Good afternoon.
00:16:33This is Detective Constable Morse, Oxford City Police.
00:16:36Would I be right in thinking this is the dental practice of a Mr. Mika?
00:16:40It was.
00:16:47I see.
00:16:48What age was Mr. Mika at the time of his decease?
00:16:52The Jeremias say to me, Barbara, three elections in two years.
00:16:56The voters have had enough.
00:16:58You know, we're sitting there in Parliament on a 90-odd majority.
00:17:02I think you know exactly what the danger is.
00:17:05We give an inch of ground back to the Tories and they'll thieve a yard.
00:17:10Hear, hear.
00:17:11Hear, hear.
00:17:16Now, Thursday come in.
00:17:18May I present Captain and Mrs. Batten, Detective Inspector Thursday?
00:17:22I do.
00:17:23Mr. Batten owns the paint factory on the Botley Road.
00:17:26The sources?
00:17:27What?
00:17:28The Worcestershire Regiment Chief Superintendent.
00:17:32My tie.
00:17:33Burma.
00:17:34You?
00:17:35North Africa.
00:17:36Italy.
00:17:37Well, unfortunately, it appears Mr. and Mrs. Batten's daughter is amongst the group we're
00:17:42holding in connection with that incident of the Broad this morning.
00:17:44Kitty.
00:17:45She attends Lady Matilda's, but Captain and Mrs. Batten have brought with them a letter from
00:17:49a tutor in medieval studies at Beaufort.
00:17:52He assures me she's a person of previous good character.
00:17:55Yeah, I think he says exemplary.
00:17:57A running blue cuppa and likely prospect from Mexico in the 800.
00:18:02If she's done something wrong...
00:18:04Rob.
00:18:05...she should face the consequences, Archie, the same as anyone else.
00:18:08Admirably expressed, Mrs. Batten.
00:18:10However, not everyone else's mother has been selected to stand for Parliament.
00:18:16They've been released.
00:18:17All of them.
00:18:18Quality and mercy, Mr. Price says.
00:18:20The quality of Captain Batten's back hand, monarch.
00:18:23This isn't Chief Constable's doubles partner, isn't he?
00:18:26In the seniors round robin.
00:18:27His paint firm sponsors the annual police winners and orphans, doesn't it?
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:32Well, there you go.
00:18:33Seems like something strange.
00:18:34Not what you know.
00:18:35Oh.
00:18:36Hi, love.
00:18:37No, I'm not stopping, thanks.
00:18:39I just wanted to report on the garage it shot over.
00:18:42How'd you make her?
00:18:43Well, according to the owner, Mika's stayed there three times this last month.
00:18:47Mika amongst his business cards, weren't there?
00:18:49Dentist, Swiss cottage.
00:18:51Yeah.
00:18:52He died two years ago.
00:18:54Some sort of colonist and possibly found this on his bedside table.
00:18:5898018.
00:18:59What's that?
00:19:00Telephone number?
00:19:01It's unobtainable.
00:19:02If it is, I've tried it.
00:19:04D-Day.
00:19:05Friday.
00:19:06Well, you got that wrong.
00:19:07The style is.
00:19:08D-Day was on a Tuesday.
00:19:09What's with the Friday, then?
00:19:10Well, something you had to do tomorrow, perhaps?
00:19:12I wondered if it might be Friday at all.
00:19:14Well, there's a young girl that's gone missing from Wantage.
00:19:17Freedia Yelland.
00:19:18I thought, rather than Friday, it could be Freedia Y, couldn't it?
00:19:22Well, it could just be Friday.
00:19:25You're keen to get back in the swing, I know, and that's to be commended.
00:19:29But?
00:19:30Tying in a suicide to a missing girl off the back of a single word?
00:19:34I'll admit that's a bit of a stretch, even by your standards.
00:19:39Suspected suicide, isn't it?
00:19:44In any event, we'd be better placed to know if certain of his possessions hadn't taken a walk.
00:19:50What's that?
00:19:51Meeker's notebook's gone missing.
00:19:53Somewhere between the scene and the exhibit's desk.
00:19:56Could be the coroner's men swept it up with the rest of the detritus when they bagged the body.
00:20:00Who was in charge there?
00:20:01Strange.
00:20:02Although I'm not saying anything.
00:20:03Well, I'll, uh, have a word with Mr. Bright.
00:20:05In any case.
00:20:06Can't have a uniform falling down on the gym.
00:20:08I don't know.
00:20:09I don't know if certain of his possessions hadn't taken a walk.
00:20:11What's that?
00:20:12Meeker's notebook's gone missing.
00:20:14Somewhere between the scene and the exhibit's desk.
00:20:16Could be the coroner's men swept it up with the rest of the detritus when they bagged the body.
00:20:18Who was in charge there?
00:20:19Strange.
00:20:20Judy.
00:20:21Right then.
00:20:22Let's see.
00:20:23Thursday.
00:20:24Must be...
00:20:25And the tomato.
00:20:26Kitty!
00:20:27Kitty!
00:20:28What?
00:20:29Didn't you think what this might mean?
00:20:44For you.
00:20:45For the family.
00:20:46I thought you might understand.
00:20:47Approve even.
00:20:48Don't you want things to change?
00:20:49Well, of course I do.
00:20:50What the hell do you think I'm standing for?
00:20:52Oh, my God.
00:20:53Well, you think you'd be standing at all if some old man had died?
00:20:59If the party really gave a damn, they'd have selected you to stand for the general in March.
00:21:02It's not some bloody alter-run by-election.
00:21:03It's not some bloody alter-run by-election.
00:21:04Pitchy.
00:21:05It doesn't matter whether you win or lose.
00:21:07It's just a game.
00:21:08Yes, it's their game.
00:21:09And you're playing it.
00:21:11It's 1966, Mother.
00:21:12It's 1966, Mother.
00:21:13You don't have to wait till you're asked to dance anymore.
00:21:15Why don't you wait with the car?
00:21:16I'll see her into a tutorial.
00:21:17I'd sooner you didn't come in if you don't mind.
00:21:19I'm a big girl.
00:21:25Did Frida ever mention a man called Mika, Mr. Yellen?
00:21:28Raymond Mika.
00:21:29About 45 years old.
00:21:31Might have described himself as a dentist.
00:21:33Drove a link in Continental.
00:21:35One of the girls she worked with at Airy Aided Bread
00:21:38said that she thought she saw Frida in Oxford with an older man.
00:21:42When was this?
00:21:43Since she's been missing?
00:21:45A few weeks before.
00:21:46I told them at Kidlington.
00:21:47I thought I told them at Whitney.
00:21:49It's got that I've told so many I don't know what I've said
00:21:52and what I haven't and to who.
00:21:54Why do you think you've got something with this Mika fella?
00:22:00Oh, for a moment.
00:22:03It's just something I'm looking at.
00:22:06It's probably nothing.
00:22:24Diana?
00:22:27Diana?
00:22:28Ah, Thursday.
00:22:38Town Hall have made a request of division for additional security
00:22:41at this, er, girl competition.
00:22:44Whatever it is.
00:22:45I'd like someone from CID on it.
00:22:46Sir?
00:22:47Just a few hours of an evening,
00:22:48making sure the contestants go unmolested.
00:22:51You taking a chance?
00:22:53Don't that mirror will catch you.
00:22:54I like who's talking.
00:22:55I like who's talking.
00:22:59I don't know...
00:23:01I don't know what I've known when I'm fped,
00:23:02it's neither.
00:23:03But to be honest about the장을,
00:23:04not someone else,
00:23:05feel like he'll be home.
00:23:06She was out late for another season 2 though haven't оно
00:23:07got me.
00:23:08I don't think they were until I came with it
00:23:09and I just died in the pool of a cup,
00:23:10and I can't help.
00:23:11Don't be including a consistant of garbage
00:23:12eating she knows.
00:23:13Look at all.
00:23:15Hi. Hello. I'm Monica. With a moped from across the way? Morse. Sorry to knock, but you haven't got a tanner, have you?
00:23:44I have something on the stove to warm and the gas is gone. Come in. I'll let you have it back. Call it quits if you've a tin opener I can borrow. Just moved in, haven't you? Weekend before last. I'll, er, fetch the opener. You wouldn't have an eye in, would you? Mine's given up the ghost. Stretching that sixpence, aren't you? How is he?
00:24:14A bit ring rusty, maybe. Soon worked that off. Fred, when you came back from that drink with him, you were worried sick.
00:24:25Oh, I don't know I'd go that far. Yes, you were. What was it you said? The light's gone out of him. Has it?
00:24:35So, er, what do you do? What do you think I do?
00:24:47Teacher, maybe? In the colleges? All these books.
00:24:55Are you? I'm a policeman. You don't look like a policeman.
00:24:59Hmm. What does a policeman look like? Not like you.
00:25:06Thanks for the opener.
00:25:09Welcome. I'll, er...
00:25:12Night.
00:25:15Good night.
00:25:16Someone get the police! It's been a robbery!
00:25:23Theft was discovered shortly after seven o'clock this morning, sir, by one of the paulses.
00:25:29When were they last seen?
00:25:31Just before the college was locked up for the night. Around 11. There's nobody in or out in between.
00:25:33Inside job, then. If the place was shut tight.
00:25:38Well, since you're wearing a hat, might one assume that you were in charge.
00:25:40Theft was discovered shortly after seven o'clock this morning, sir, by one of the paulses.
00:25:43When were they last seen?
00:25:44Just before the college was locked up for the night. Around 11. There's nobody in or out in between.
00:25:46Inside job, then. If the place was shut tight.
00:25:51Now, since you're wearing a hat, might one assume that you're in charge.
00:25:52FDI Thursday. Sir, city police. Might we assume the same of you, Mr...
00:25:57D.I. Thursday, sir. City police. Might we assume the same of you. Mr...
00:26:01Doctor. Copley Barnes. I'm the McCullen Chair. Medieval Studies. And this isn't a hat, it's a bonnet.
00:26:08My colleague, Dr. Speed, Senior Research Fellow in Anglo-Saxon Antiquities.
00:26:12How do you do?
00:26:13What's been stolen, exactly?
00:26:14Speed?
00:26:16Come on, man. This is you.
00:26:18Oh, yeah. Yes, well, um...
00:26:20We've an excellent photographic record of the exhibits, as you can see.
00:26:24Er, the quality of the objects, together with certain runic inscriptions, suggests they belong to a Thane or high-ranking housecarl in the retinue of King Harold Godwinson.
00:26:35Or King Harold that got it in the eye.
00:26:37Then people decry the merits of the secondary modern. Yes, Constable, even he.
00:26:41The centerpiece is a golden helmet, known by a dint of the chief archaeologist's taste for Wagner as the Tarn Helm.
00:26:50Er, spearhead?
00:26:52Er, Dane, axe, various armed torques.
00:26:56What Spate's trying to tell you in his scenic way is that the swag constitutes all the major finds from the second Wolvercote trove.
00:27:03Yes?
00:27:04The witch, sir?
00:27:05You're familiar, presumably, with the dig of 31, which unearthed the late Saxon belt buckle presently held by the Ashmolean.
00:27:10Strangely enough, I can't imagine that a working knowledge of the Historia Ecclesiastica looms large in the Hendon Curriculum.
00:27:17I can't imagine it would do us very much good if it did.
00:27:20I beg your pardon?
00:27:22The Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Angolorum, to give it its full title, appeared 335 years before the events with which this exhibition is concerned took place.
00:27:35Venerable to be, may have been, but not clairvoyant.
00:27:39Please, Dr. Spate, do go on.
00:27:43Get uniform cracking on particulars and the movement of everyone in college between the time the place was locked up and when the loop was missed.
00:27:49Sir, sir, that suicide that went off the rates of its roof, there was an exhibition guide amongst this personal effects.
00:27:56Arbor Moxford's got one, I shouldn't wonder.
00:27:59I spoke to Mr Yelland, the father of the missing girl, Frieda.
00:28:03He said that one of her colleagues at work had seen her in Oxford with an older man.
00:28:07I know what you said, sir, but what if that older man was the body that we found?
00:28:10What if?
00:28:11Look, we've got three cases, three separate cases.
00:28:14A suicide, a missing girl, and now a robbery.
00:28:17You want to lump all three together because the dead man had an exhibition guide and wrote Friday down on a piece of paper.
00:28:22Well, it could be today, couldn't it?
00:28:25Friday, the day of the robbery.
00:28:28Two minutes ago you said it was this missing girl, Frieda Yelland.
00:28:32Which is it?
00:28:33I don't know.
00:28:34You don't have to prove anything.
00:28:38Just don't be back in one piece.
00:28:41This is enough to be going on with, all right?
00:28:43I'm going to go and have a word with the porner.
00:28:48Oh, hello, stranger. They let you out then.
00:28:54Good behaviour.
00:28:55You? How are you?
00:28:58Operational.
00:28:59There's been a robbery, isn't there? Something to do with the Wolvercott Trove?
00:29:04I'm sure the college wouldn't want us to go into details, Miss Frazel.
00:29:07Any chance there's a connection to yesterday's larks in the broad?
00:29:10There's talk one of the girls involved has a connection to Beaufort, but no one's naming names.
00:29:14What do you hear?
00:29:15I hear very little.
00:29:17And divulge even less.
00:29:19It really doesn't matter what you tell me. We've had orders from on high that it's a non-story.
00:29:29Miss Batten, Detective Constable Morse, City Police.
00:29:33I wondered if I might ask you a few questions about last night.
00:29:36Last night?
00:29:38Someone stole a sizeable portion of the Wolvercott Trove.
00:29:41Did they?
00:29:42Well, there's one in the Eiffel-Copley barns. Quite literally.
00:29:48My cheater...
00:29:50Yes, I know.
00:29:51You don't care for him?
00:29:54Not as much as he'd like.
00:29:57My God, you don't think I'm something to do with it?
00:30:02Well, I think you made quite a spectacle of yourself on the broad yesterday.
00:30:06Perhaps you feel you didn't make your point strongly enough.
00:30:09That was different.
00:30:10Was it?
00:30:11In 1913, Mary Richardson walked into the National Gallery and slashed a rogue bevenus, all in
00:30:17a good cause.
00:30:18Can anyone vouch for your whereabouts yesterday evening?
00:30:22No.
00:30:23Well, actually, I called home at about half-past ten to speak to Mother, but Father said she
00:30:29was out campaigning or...
00:30:31I don't know.
00:30:32I just wanted people to see the truth.
00:30:35There's more to women than an empty head and a Colgate smile.
00:30:40But it's futile.
00:30:42Nothing's going to change.
00:30:43I'll walk away from Oxford with a degree, and for what?
00:30:46An occupation...
00:30:49housewife.
00:30:50I'm not selfish, Archie.
00:31:02How have I been?
00:31:03With all this?
00:31:05I know it's been hard on you and Kitty.
00:31:09It's my fault.
00:31:10She's her mother's daughter.
00:31:13Headstrong.
00:31:14Brave.
00:31:15Smart as they come.
00:31:17Not much of a fault where I'm standing.
00:31:19Any other circumstance, and I would have been cheering her on.
00:31:22She does know that.
00:31:24It's just...
00:31:26When you believe in something...
00:31:29I had to try for it.
00:31:32Not what I believe in.
00:31:35You.
00:31:36Kitty.
00:31:37The three of us.
00:31:40According to the neighbours, it's been parked here since yesterday morning.
00:32:05Fishing waders, but no rod or tackle.
00:32:09Switchblade.
00:32:10Risky old game, dentistry.
00:32:12According to the logbook, the car's registered to a Mr. John Pettifer.
00:32:1611 Drexel Court, London.
00:32:18That's Soho.
00:32:19Pass it on the lumbermen.
00:32:21He died on our ground.
00:32:22I thought I might take a look.
00:32:23Did you?
00:32:26Listen, boss.
00:32:27Mr. Bright's looking for a volunteer on this beauty contest.
00:32:30I'll put your name down.
00:32:33To do what?
00:32:34Keep an eye.
00:32:35They're expecting you at the Chipperfield Studios around midday.
00:32:37Asked for a Tony Frisco.
00:32:39I'm meant to be off light duties.
00:32:41Well, it came from the top.
00:32:43After all the hoopla with the pageant.
00:32:47What if it wasn't a suicide?
00:32:49What if his death is somehow connected to this missing girl?
00:32:52Friede Yelland.
00:32:53You're looking to keep your mind occupied.
00:32:56It's the theft of Beaufort we could use a lead on.
00:32:59You saw it, didn't you?
00:33:00Kitty Batten.
00:33:01What'd you make to her?
00:33:02Confused.
00:33:03Sincere.
00:33:04Angry.
00:33:05Any chance the theft of the Trove could be part of the same stunt?
00:33:10Well, anything's possible, but...
00:33:11No, it's all right.
00:33:12Mort, it was just a car back firing.
00:33:13I wasn't...
00:33:14I wasn't expecting it, that's all.
00:33:15I know.
00:33:16Well, it took me by surprise, that's all.
00:33:17Very close.
00:33:18Make me jump.
00:33:19You really think there could be something to London?
00:33:32I can get the train after.
00:33:35I've been to see Tony Frisco, of course.
00:33:37All right.
00:33:38in to see Tony Frisco, of course.
00:33:41All right.
00:33:43So, what you doing Friday?
00:33:46I'm going to take these people.
00:33:47I'm done.
00:33:48Take part.
00:33:50How are we looking in the back for James?
00:33:52That was smashing, Diana.
00:33:53You're a natural.
00:33:58Hello there.
00:33:59Tony Frisco, Mr. Todd's assistant.
00:34:02Detective Custard Morse.
00:34:03Please, come on over.
00:34:03I'll introduce you to Val.
00:34:05Mr. Todd.
00:34:07Have you been with him long?
00:34:08Yeah, a few years.
00:34:10Started out as his driver.
00:34:12Worked my way up.
00:34:13Is it interesting work?
00:34:15Beats, pest, control.
00:34:17That's my former vocation.
00:34:19Vermin, pigeons, rats, wasps.
00:34:22That's how I first met Val.
00:34:23Squirrels in the loft.
00:34:25Next thing I know, I'm wearing a chauffeur's cap,
00:34:26sitting behind the wheel of the roller.
00:34:28Sounds fabulous.
00:34:30I mean, take Saturday gone, Diana,
00:34:32opens a boutique in Marlebone.
00:34:34They're all there.
00:34:35Simon D asks me if I like his shirt.
00:34:37You can't put a price on that.
00:34:39Where are the cars?
00:34:40We don't know how I'm meant to do it right
00:34:42if there aren't no cars.
00:34:43Any cars.
00:34:44They will put them in later.
00:34:46Val, Detective Constable Morse.
00:34:48Thanks very much indeed for coming.
00:34:50This is my good lady wife and the partner of my labors.
00:34:54This is Muriel.
00:34:55Mrs. Todd.
00:34:56This is one of the nice young gentlemen's
00:34:57going to be looking after us tomorrow.
00:34:59Can we find him an evening suit?
00:35:01He has an evening suit.
00:35:03Don't worry about Muriel.
00:35:05She's like a cat on a hot tin roof for a competition.
00:35:07No smoking on the floor, please.
00:35:10Sorry, that's me.
00:35:10Let's go.
00:35:12So what's the form with this kind of thing?
00:35:16Traditionally, there's three rounds.
00:35:18There's day wear, there's evening wear, and there's swim wear.
00:35:20But this is not all about looks.
00:35:22These girls are judged on having a personality as much
00:35:24as anything else.
00:35:25Do you get many applicants?
00:35:27Are you joking?
00:35:29For the right girl, this competition is the chance
00:35:31of fame and fortune.
00:35:32This is personal appearances.
00:35:33This is endorsements, all of which we take care of for them.
00:35:36For a percentage, presumably.
00:35:38As the man says, show business, not show friendship.
00:35:42Val, they're ready to go again.
00:35:43Diana's playing up.
00:35:44Oh, and Mr. White's on the phone for Plato.
00:35:47Right, listen, thanks so much for coming.
00:35:48I really appreciate it.
00:35:49You're going to have to excuse me, but Tony,
00:35:51we will see you out.
00:36:21We'll see you out of the way.
00:36:22Someone's beat us to it.
00:36:50Right, get him up and cuff him.
00:36:52What are you doing?
00:36:57You look sharp, Mr. Pettifer.
00:36:58Wakey, wakey.
00:37:02Don't talk.
00:37:03Listen.
00:37:04Do you recognize Mr. Mallory, yeah?
00:37:09You know what we want.
00:37:11What's the numbers?
00:37:12I'm not Pettifer.
00:37:15You are gonna tell me those numbers.
00:37:17Come here.
00:37:19Bring with you now.
00:37:20Here we go.
00:37:22Lydia.
00:37:23Lydia, Martin, please.
00:37:24I'm just a secretary.
00:37:25If you come up with a combination for the safe,
00:37:27you might save yourself a beating.
00:37:28I don't know it.
00:37:29If I've only been here three weeks,
00:37:30you'd have to ask Mr. Pettifer.
00:37:32What do you feel we're doing?
00:37:33That's not Pettifer.
00:37:35Oh, police officer.
00:37:36Check him.
00:37:37Come on.
00:37:38He's all right.
00:37:39Let's get out of here quick.
00:37:41Oh!
00:37:42Check him.
00:37:46He's all right.
00:37:47Let's get out of here quick.
00:37:48Oh!
00:38:03Thursday.
00:38:04The bigger of the two is Mallory.
00:38:12He's an inspector.
00:38:13Vine Street.
00:38:14Mallory's wife thought he had a bit on the side.
00:38:17Mr. Pettifer's main line was divorce.
00:38:19So, somehow, Mallory's got wind of it.
00:38:21Any idea what Pettifer was doing in Oxford?
00:38:23He didn't tell me much.
00:38:25Well, whatever Mallory was after is in here.
00:38:28You sure you don't know the combination?
00:38:31No.
00:38:32Let's try 98018.
00:38:43Try 15, 58, 16, 03.
00:38:47Or some variation thereof.
00:38:49The combination.
00:38:51The string around his finger.
00:38:53He had a bad memory.
00:38:55Yeah.
00:38:56He was always forgetting to pay his bills.
00:38:58He kept everything important written in his little black book.
00:39:0115, what is it?
00:39:0258, 16, 03.
00:39:08How do you know that?
00:39:10He hung the portrait to remind him of the combination.
00:39:13The years of Elizabeth Tudor's reign.
00:39:23Dee's mouth瑞.
00:39:2410, 03.
00:39:27Larry.
00:39:28Who wants to know?
00:39:29Print Thursday, Oxford City Police.
00:39:32hold on.
00:39:32What can I do for you?
00:39:39Mallory.
00:39:41Who wants to know?
00:39:43Fred Thursday, Oxford City Police.
00:39:46What can I do for you?
00:39:48So, this afternoon, you and your pal had a rare old time
00:39:51at the expense of one of mine.
00:39:53Suppose you tell me what that was all about?
00:39:56Suppose we don't.
00:39:59Then I'll have to take off my hat.
00:40:08How long have I been out?
00:40:23Nearly back.
00:40:25While you were having a doze, I dug out Mallory.
00:40:29Turns out Pettifer was a shakedown artist.
00:40:32Mallory's wife hired him to find out if her husband was seeing another woman.
00:40:36He was.
00:40:37Only sooner had come clean to his client, Pettifer put the squeeze on.
00:40:41Only Mallory wouldn't roll over.
00:40:43About the size of it.
00:40:47Still doesn't explain who was waiting for me behind the door of Pettifer's office.
00:40:51You sure it wasn't Mallory?
00:40:53According to Miss Martin, no.
00:40:55They didn't turn up till after.
00:40:57Well, I fetched her this out in any case.
00:41:03Souvenir of London.
00:41:06Do you need any help?
00:41:09No, we're all right for the minute, Miss.
00:41:10Thanks for asking.
00:41:11I've got him.
00:41:12That's it.
00:41:13Let's get you sat down.
00:41:14Still think Pettifer was a suicide?
00:41:16Some other husband had the same idea as Mallory, only this one threw him off the roof.
00:41:23If whoever hit me was after the same thing as Mallory, then...
00:41:30the answer's gotta be somewhere in that lot.
00:41:31You're in no state for book work.
00:41:32Get some sleep.
00:41:33Get some sleep.
00:41:34I don't expect to see you.
00:41:35You're in no state for book work.
00:41:37Get some sleep.
00:41:38I don't expect to see you at work in the morning, all right?
00:41:40You're in no state for book work.
00:41:41I don't expect to see you at work in the morning, all right?
00:41:47Is he all right?
00:41:48Touch a concussion.
00:41:49Could you look in on him now and then?
00:41:50I don't expect to see you at work in the morning, all right?
00:41:55I don't expect to see you at work in the morning, all right?
00:42:01Is he all right?
00:42:02I don't expect to see you at work in the morning, all right?
00:42:08Is he all right?
00:42:11Touch a concussion.
00:42:14Could you look in on him now and then?
00:42:17Oh, I don't want to...
00:42:18No, no.
00:42:19Look, in case he needs anything.
00:42:22And if he takes a turn for the worse, you call an ambulance, and then call that number
00:42:28any time.
00:42:29Are you family?
00:42:30Colleague.
00:42:31Good night, miss.
00:42:32What, chef?
00:42:33You walk into a door or something?
00:42:34Your idea of a day off, is it?
00:42:35You're meant to be laid out with a bag of ice on your head.
00:42:36There's something you should see.
00:43:00That is your signature, Mrs. Todd.
00:43:03Thirty guineas to be drawn against the account of Val Moon Promotions.
00:43:07We know Mr. Pettivert's bread and butter was divorce work, Mrs. Todd.
00:43:12It was silly, but can you blame me?
00:43:15Surrounded by beautiful young women, who he is.
00:43:19Thought maybe she'd got her claws into him.
00:43:21Who?
00:43:22Diana.
00:43:23They'd been spending a lot of time together, promotional tours.
00:43:27Val had become a little distant.
00:43:29I was wrong.
00:43:31Mr. Pettivert told you that?
00:43:32Yes.
00:43:33I had no reason to doubt him.
00:43:36She's worth a million of those.
00:43:41When I first met Muriel, I didn't have a pot to piss in.
00:43:45Do you know what I was?
00:43:47I was entertainment's officer at some two-bob holiday camp,
00:43:50but if she saw something in me,
00:43:53I'd be nothing without that woman.
00:43:56Because she's the brains.
00:43:58Oh, yeah, she's the real business acumen.
00:44:00That's not how the world sees it.
00:44:02The world sees what we want it to see,
00:44:04but I tell you what, believe me,
00:44:06she's the punchline, I'm just the bum-tsch.
00:44:09Just as a matter of interest, where were you yesterday afternoon?
00:44:13Well, you know where I was.
00:44:15I was at Chipperfield Studios.
00:44:16And the morning of the pageant?
00:44:18I was in the broad, keeping an eye on Diana,
00:44:20and Moo and Tony will vouch for me.
00:44:22Look, do you really think I would risk everything
00:44:25that we built up together?
00:44:27For what?
00:44:29For some here-today-gone-tomorrow-bitter-skirt
00:44:32who's only interested in what I can do for them?
00:44:35He makes a convincing show.
00:44:38I'd say a watertight alibi for the time both you and Pettivert
00:44:42copped it.
00:44:43It's a bit more than show.
00:44:45All we've got to go on is the wife's suspicions.
00:44:48She wouldn't be the first to put two and two and make five.
00:44:51I thought I might talk to Diana Day.
00:44:55About D-Day.
00:44:57Stretching the point, aren't you?
00:44:59Besides, she's hardly likely to admit they were carrying on.
00:45:02If Pettivert had had anything on top,
00:45:04we'd have found more in his file than just a cheque, don't you think?
00:45:15Miss Day?
00:45:17Oh, if you want a signed picture, you'll have to write in.
00:45:20Detective Constable Morse, City Police.
00:45:22Oh.
00:45:23Thank God.
00:45:24I thought you were a fan.
00:45:26You haven't got Siggy, have you?
00:45:27I'm gasping.
00:45:28I'm afraid not.
00:45:29Do you mind if I sit?
00:45:30Please.
00:45:31So, what's this about then?
00:45:34What happened at the parade?
00:45:36No, it's, um, it's about another matter.
00:45:41I wondered, have you ever met a man called Pettifer?
00:45:46Not that I know of.
00:45:49What about a girl called Frieda Yelland?
00:45:52Do you know how many names are here in my line of work?
00:45:56Who is she?
00:45:57She's a young girl gone missing from Wantage.
00:45:59She may have known this Pettifer character.
00:46:02Well, like I say, I don't know either of them.
00:46:07How would you describe your relationship with Val Todd?
00:46:11Professional.
00:46:12He's my manager.
00:46:15Look, three years ago, I was just plain Betty Jones.
00:46:20Working in a shoe shop in Croydon with no prospects beyond a couple of kids in a masonette in Pearlie.
00:46:26And everyone would have said, ain't she done well?
00:46:29And Val saw something more in me.
00:46:32A smile to build a dream on, he called it.
00:46:36And he sent me to deportment classes and elocution lessons and gave me new hair and clothes.
00:46:42Even a new name.
00:46:44D-Day.
00:46:45It's my birthday.
00:46:47It's June 6th.
00:46:49Simple as that?
00:46:50Simple as that.
00:46:51You got it.
00:46:52It's your birthday.
00:46:53You got it.
00:46:56You're looking for it.
00:46:57It's for a moment.
00:46:58It's for a moment.
00:47:00It's a birthday party here.
00:47:01I'm lucky.
00:47:03That's the right place.
00:47:05You got it.
00:47:07You got it.
00:47:08Okay.
00:47:09You're looking for it.
00:47:11You're looking for it.
00:47:12I'm lucky.
00:47:13I'm lucky.
00:47:14You got it.
00:47:15I'll redeem this.
00:47:35Yes, sir.
00:47:36Thank you, sir.
00:47:45Trill Mill Stream.
00:48:06Runs underneath the city.
00:48:08At least we know why I needed waders.
00:48:10T.E. Lawrence explored it by canoe when it was up.
00:48:16Point is, it surfaces again inside Beaufort College.
00:48:23How far does this thing go?
00:48:25Oh, about a quarter of a mile.
00:48:29Around on the surface originally.
00:48:32Only enclosed during a cholera outbreak in the 19th century.
00:48:36What the hell was Pettifer doing taking a photograph of it?
00:48:39I don't know.
00:48:41Tasting the location.
00:48:43Planning.
00:48:44This must be the way the robber's got into the college.
00:48:47Maybe Pettifer's...
00:48:48Hold on.
00:48:49What's that?
00:48:51Look, they're up ahead.
00:48:52Oh, that's all.
00:49:35Who was she?
00:49:36Not sure yet, sir, but her outfit matches that of a girl reported missing out of Wantage.
00:49:41Frieda Yellen.
00:49:42Age?
00:49:43Early twenties. If it's her.
00:49:45It's her.
00:49:50Was she interfered with?
00:49:52No more once. Dr. De Brins completed his post-mortem, but first impression says not.
00:49:57Her underclothes are still in place.
00:49:58How was it you happened to find the body?
00:50:01Line of inquiry Morse was following, sir, to do with this suicide off the rates office.
00:50:07Cause of death would appear to be a head wound.
00:50:09Would have bled quite profusely if she were alive when it happened.
00:50:13Right parietal between the superior and inferior temporal line.
00:50:18Someone hit her, yeah?
00:50:19One might reasonably draw such a conclusion.
00:50:22Pettifer had a fractured skull, didn't he?
00:50:24He had a fractured everything.
00:50:26But that was also on the right.
00:50:28Between the superior and inferior temporal lines, if memory serves.
00:50:35Whoever killed Frieda Yellen also killed Pettifer.
00:50:38It would appear they were both connected to the theft of the trove.
00:50:41But what's behind it?
00:50:42A falling out of thieves?
00:50:44Perhaps.
00:50:45But the girl was killed two weeks ago at least.
00:50:48Maybe she's not part of it.
00:50:50Maybe she's heard or seen something she shouldn't,
00:50:52and they can't rely on her to keep her mouth shut.
00:50:54So what's with the photographs?
00:50:55And why leave the negs in the pawnbrokers?
00:50:58Maybe he didn't trust his partner.
00:51:00Or partners.
00:51:02Maybe it was his insurance against the double cross.
00:51:04Didn't work out too well for him then, did it?
00:51:08After Elspeth died, me and Frieda moved here to be closer to my family.
00:51:13From where?
00:51:13London had gone there after the war to look for work.
00:51:17So I met Elspeth.
00:51:19She was a widow with a young girl.
00:51:23What happened to Frieda's father?
00:51:26The Japs.
00:51:28Frieda took to me from the off.
00:51:31My little button, she was.
00:51:34This older man, does the name Pettifer ring any bells?
00:51:38No, not to my knowledge.
00:51:40What about Beaufort College?
00:51:41Does she know anyone from there?
00:51:42Well, we never had anything to do with anywhere like that.
00:51:47Would you have a key for this, Mr Yelland?
00:51:49No.
00:51:50It's Frieda's bits box.
00:51:52It belonged to my Elspeth.
00:51:54I let Frieda have it after Elspeth passed away.
00:51:58You'd have no objection if we took it away with us and had a look inside.
00:52:02No.
00:52:03Take what you want.
00:52:05Just catch whoever did it.
00:52:07Find wherever this is and we might get some answers.
00:52:20Pettifer's notebook we need.
00:52:22Same again.
00:52:23I'll have a large one.
00:52:26You'll have a pint of Radford's.
00:52:28I'm all for a beer at lunchtime.
00:52:29There's nothing wrong with that.
00:52:31But when you're on duty with me, you lay off the spirits.
00:52:34I've seen too many go that way.
00:52:35What way?
00:52:37You think I missed all the bottles around your flat?
00:52:39Six months.
00:52:40The rate you're going, you'll have enough of the empties to put down for a second-hand car.
00:52:46Booze can be a good servant, Morse, but it's a lousy master.
00:52:49What's going on?
00:52:51You all right?
00:52:53Perfectly.
00:52:54Why?
00:52:55I'm just saying.
00:52:58Sometimes, with a shooting, there can be a delayed reaction.
00:53:05Shock after the event.
00:53:07Here, try this.
00:53:09The FME has rated me fit.
00:53:11In body.
00:53:13Seen enough of it in the war.
00:53:15Then pass day one and return to the front line.
00:53:17Too soon for some of them.
00:53:19I'm fine.
00:53:35Tom has shot a couple of rolls with her earlier this year.
00:53:38I sent the ten by eights off to Valmoo.
00:53:42Valmoo Promotions.
00:53:43The organiser of this beauty contest.
00:53:45That's right.
00:53:47They put her in the local eats at Enley.
00:53:49She only came runner-up, which is about her mark, to be fair.
00:53:53Does she have a boyfriend?
00:53:54Not that I know of.
00:53:55What about a man called Pettifer?
00:53:57Does she ever mention anyone by that name?
00:53:59Not to me.
00:54:00That's it.
00:54:03What was she like?
00:54:04Not bad from a distance.
00:54:05She put her in the right clobber.
00:54:06Good legs.
00:54:08Decent bust.
00:54:09She's all right till she opened her mouth.
00:54:11Did you tell her that?
00:54:12Does she know anyone at Beaufort College?
00:54:16That's lovely, Thomas.
00:54:17Lovely.
00:54:19No.
00:54:20No, that wasn't her scene.
00:54:21When did you see her last?
00:54:23I couldn't tell you.
00:54:24Try.
00:54:25Or do you want us to take this place apart and find out what's got her as high as a kite?
00:54:29Babe, why don't you go and fix us a rum and coke, okay?
00:54:31There's a good girl.
00:54:32A couple of months, maybe.
00:54:37Dropped me, didn't she?
00:54:38How'd you feel about that?
00:54:40That's the game, man.
00:54:42Easy come.
00:54:42Really?
00:54:43She could have been your meal ticket, couldn't she?
00:54:45I did all right out of it.
00:54:46I sold her on.
00:54:48Transferred my interest to Valmo.
00:54:50And what could Valmo do for her?
00:54:52You have to ask them.
00:54:55We get hundreds of those through each week.
00:54:58One pretty girl is very much like another.
00:55:00This one took pride in one of your local heats for Miss Oxfordshire.
00:55:04Really?
00:55:06What's your interest, if you don't mind me asking?
00:55:08Our interest, Mr. Tilda, she was found murdered.
00:55:12Oh.
00:55:14I'm sorry.
00:55:14That's...
00:55:15That's terrible.
00:55:16That's a tragedy.
00:55:18Val, it's Lane at SCDP.
00:55:21East Coast.
00:55:23Would you mind excusing me just for a moment?
00:55:25I'm sure that Muriel can help you with anything else.
00:55:27What's this?
00:55:28More about that nonsense at the parade?
00:55:29No, no.
00:55:30Some young kid's got herself killed.
00:55:33What did you say her name was again?
00:55:34Frieda Yelland.
00:55:36We spoke to her Mr. Delfarge, said he sold her on to you to manage.
00:55:39Oh, yes, I remember.
00:55:40We negotiated a percentage, but nothing was signed.
00:55:43But she worked for you?
00:55:44She did a couple of exhibitions, the boat show, motor show.
00:55:48She wasn't really cut out for it.
00:55:50She ever talk about a boyfriend?
00:55:52What about Pettifer?
00:55:53It's possible she may have known him.
00:55:57Well, her father was killed in the war.
00:56:20Yelland said as much.
00:56:22He took on Frieda and raised her as if she were his own.
00:56:24It's not the official telegram, sir.
00:56:27There's a letter there sent by his CO after the war.
00:56:31Your message is burning.
00:56:33You will now receive notice in the war of this if your terror will last.
00:56:36So I've seen enough like him.
00:56:38What's your point?
00:56:38Well, lack of punctuation notwithstanding.
00:56:40It was more the signature that caught my eye.
00:56:42Captain Archibald Batten.
00:56:46My father was a miner in the valleys of South Wales.
00:56:51He'd known poverty, but it hadn't made him bitter.
00:56:56He used to say to me, Barbara,
00:56:58when the world shows you its worst,
00:57:01that's when people show you their best.
00:57:04Yeah.
00:57:04That was a very good speech.
00:57:17Last chance to convince any undecideds.
00:57:20At least nobody told me to get back in the kitchen,
00:57:21which is something.
00:57:22I thought it was very passionate.
00:57:24Hmm?
00:57:24I can count on your vote, then.
00:57:26I don't vote.
00:57:29People died, so you could.
00:57:32It's your birthright.
00:57:33Paid for in sweat and blood.
00:57:34All right, my dear.
00:57:35Who's this?
00:57:36Captain Batten.
00:57:37I wonder if I might have a moment of your time.
00:57:39City police, D.C. Morse.
00:57:41Please, is this about Kitty?
00:57:42No, Mrs. Batten.
00:57:43It's about another matter.
00:57:44It will take a moment.
00:57:49I wrote many search letters.
00:57:51Too many.
00:57:53I've a vague recollection of Private Sperling,
00:57:56but sadly, I'm afraid, faces do start to blur.
00:58:00We wondered if Miss Yelland had been in contact with you.
00:58:03With me?
00:58:04No.
00:58:04To what end?
00:58:05Some connection with her father, perhaps.
00:58:07Something broader to Oxford.
00:58:09I see.
00:58:10Then I'm afraid I'm sorry to disappoint I never met her.
00:58:14I doubt I've thought about her name
00:58:16from the moment I wrote that letter until today.
00:58:18You've never met or been contacted by a man called Pettifer?
00:58:22He's a private inquiry agent from London.
00:58:24No.
00:58:25Good heavens, no.
00:58:27I mean, the gutter snipes in the press are always looking for an angle to do Barbara down,
00:58:31but I can't see even them stooping so low as that.
00:58:33And just for the record, where were you on the morning of the pageant?
00:58:36Campaigning.
00:58:37With Barb.
00:58:37A speech to nurses at the Radcliffe Infirmary.
00:58:40And yesterday afternoon?
00:58:42Canvassing.
00:58:43Door to door.
00:58:44As my feet will bear a testament,
00:58:46I can slip my sock off if you like.
00:58:48No, that won't be here.
00:58:50Thank you for your assistance.
00:58:51And the best of luck to Mrs. Banton tomorrow.
00:58:53Mm.
00:58:56Mind?
00:58:59No, I won't, if it's all the same.
00:59:02All right, then.
00:59:03Good night.
00:59:13You should have stayed.
00:59:14You'd have been proud.
00:59:16I am.
00:59:18I am.
00:59:19This is indeed a stone
00:59:49spearhead. Where did you find it?
00:59:51In the tunnels, sir, close by Freedy Allen's
00:59:53body. Looks like the thief stumbled over the corpse
00:59:55in the dark and lost it.
00:59:57He was already inside the cottage. He steals
00:59:59the goods, then makes his getaway under cover
01:00:01of darkness through the stream.
01:00:03One of your uniformed associates
01:00:05mentioned in passing that you were an Oxford
01:00:07man. Is that right?
01:00:09I've always rather despised that phrase.
01:00:12Chippy, aren't he?
01:00:14What, poor third?
01:00:16You're tutor to Kitty Batten, aren't you?
01:00:17What do you make
01:00:19to her? Daddy issues.
01:00:22Well, mummy and daddy issues
01:00:23to be precise. Hence all this look
01:00:25at me you've laid.
01:00:27Nothing a good spanking wouldn't cure, I'm
01:00:29sure.
01:00:32Oh, I see.
01:00:34Turned your head, has she?
01:00:36Touch of the barley fever.
01:00:38Got you yearning for bouts
01:00:39of erotic gymnastics, punctuated
01:00:41by Thomas Mann and the new
01:00:43left review. Yum, yum.
01:00:46Now the flesh is weak,
01:00:47I suppose.
01:00:50I've seen all I need to.
01:00:55There you go, sir.
01:00:57Thanks.
01:00:58Thanks, mate.
01:00:59Right, you are, sir.
01:01:01You don't know
01:01:01it's off Russian these days.
01:01:02I've had enough advice
01:01:05for one day.
01:01:06How do you feel about
01:01:07giving some?
01:01:09I've been invited to a meet
01:01:11and greet this evening
01:01:12with a view to being initiated
01:01:14into a certain
01:01:15ancient fraternity.
01:01:18Yeah, we haven't all
01:01:19got your brain, matey.
01:01:20Never will have.
01:01:21Some of us need a leg up.
01:01:25A man can't serve
01:01:26two masters.
01:01:30Sooner or later
01:01:30you'll have to choose.
01:01:36Just don't lose your way.
01:01:39It's easily done.
01:02:00You're saying...
01:02:08You're saying...
01:02:10Svegno in un corno
01:02:16Il tuo minestra
01:02:26Orgimi da nestra
01:02:30Olio da giorno
01:02:37Svegno in un corno
01:02:43The trillmill's out of bounds to undergrads and staff, Dr. Spade. Is that right?
01:02:48Yes, yes, indeed. Students once used it to get in and out after curfew. They're less neurophobic, at least.
01:02:55After the rat infestation of 63, we had it sealed. Dreadful, pestilential pit of a place. You wouldn't catch me down there for love no money.
01:03:07Sir, was there something else?
01:03:17You again. Did you people have a rest?
01:03:20I've already told your colleagues, the night the trove was stolen, I was in my rooms at college.
01:03:25Was that usual?
01:03:27My wife had taken a pupil up to London for her grade something or other at the Royal College. Didn't expect a man to cook for himself.
01:03:33Jim, try cartwheels.
01:03:35But there's no one can vouch for you at college.
01:03:38Well, actually, I had Imogen on to put you up, but she slept through.
01:03:42Something wrong?
01:03:448, 1086.
01:03:46What? Are you quite well?
01:03:48August, 1086. The date of the first draft of the Doomsday Book.
01:03:52That's right.
01:03:53Hmm.
01:03:54We have some pages from the original Oxfordshire Returns on display.
01:03:57Stop it. Everybody freeze.
01:03:59What are you doing?
01:04:00What is going on?
01:04:01I miss you.
01:04:02City police.
01:04:03What are you doing?
01:04:04Open it up.
01:04:09Is it all there?
01:04:11Sir, it's Del Bosch.
01:04:12Get after him.
01:04:13Where were you on the morning of the pageant?
01:04:15In my rooms at college.
01:04:16Alone.
01:04:19A Friday afternoon?
01:04:22What is this?
01:04:24Keep on it, Jakes.
01:04:30You think I'm somehow involved in the theft?
01:04:33Oh, worse.
01:04:34Much worse.
01:04:41Morgan.
01:04:42Flynn, deveше.
01:04:43Tricke.
01:04:44fucking煩 demande
01:04:45how quickly
01:04:46Freida Yellen?
01:04:48Who?
01:04:49The young woman we fished out of the trail mill.
01:04:50You killed her, didn't you?
01:04:51�.
01:04:52�.
01:04:53Got you now, Justin!
01:04:56Get out!
01:04:57It's over!
01:04:59Oh, fuck!
01:05:03You're delusional.
01:05:05Or drunk.
01:05:06I think you should go now.
01:05:09Great. Excellent. Thanks.
01:05:12It was Copley Barnes.
01:05:14What was Copley Barnes?
01:05:16That stole the trove from Beaufort and murdered Friede Yelland and Pettifer.
01:05:20Morse. He was the older man.
01:05:22It's not 98018. It's 81086.
01:05:26The month and year in which the Doomsday Book was completed.
01:05:29Pettifer was blackmailing him.
01:05:31He found out somehow that Copley Barnes was involved with Friede Yelland.
01:05:35That's why Copley Barnes stole the trove, to pay off Pettifer.
01:05:38Pettifer, who was already dead.
01:05:43What? We've got the thieves in custody.
01:05:45It's nothing to do with Copley Barnes or Doomsday or any of the rest of it.
01:05:48It was Justin Delfarge and his photographer mate, Thomas.
01:05:51Thomas, it turns out, is the Right Honourable Gideon Bartholomew Thomas Fife Drummond.
01:05:57Youngest son of the Marquess of Stanhope.
01:05:59He was also a graduate of Beaufort two years since.
01:06:01Which is how he got the job taking photographs of the Wolf of Cot Trove.
01:06:04His name's on the blow-ups and on the exhibition guide.
01:06:07There's got to be more to it than that. It's just circumstantial.
01:06:10You remember the model he was taking photographs off when we visited his studio?
01:06:13Yes.
01:06:14The bracelet she was wearing.
01:06:15That's lovely, Thomas. Lovely.
01:06:17The talks from the exhibition.
01:06:19What about Friede Yelland and Pettifer?
01:06:21Justin and Thomas both knew Friede. Pettifer, early days.
01:06:24You're not actually serious.
01:06:27Unless they've confessed.
01:06:30Have they confessed?
01:06:31Morse, remember who you're speaking to.
01:06:33Have they confessed?
01:06:34Morse, a man should be big enough to admit when he's wrong.
01:06:37The trove has been recovered.
01:06:39No, he won't do his first day. It simply won't do. The hell does he think he is?
01:06:50Biggest blow on the head he got in London, sir.
01:06:52Slight concussion, that's all. Put him out of sorts.
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:57Yeah, slight concussion. That'll be it.
01:07:02A few days off.
01:07:05I just got back.
01:07:07Does it sound like a request? You're not right. Go home.
01:07:26Your friend asked me to look in.
01:07:36You shouldn't have gone to all that trouble.
01:07:38No trouble. I'm used to it.
01:07:46You're a nurse.
01:07:47Is it the uniform?
01:07:49Just wanted to leave you something before I went on shift.
01:07:53I tried the other morning, but you gave me the slip.
01:07:57Try and eat it while it's hot.
01:08:02You need feeding up.
01:08:04Hey, now?
01:08:07You're shaking.
01:08:10Not so bad it's got you this way, huh?
01:08:14Father's lost his daughter.
01:08:19That has to be put right.
01:08:21If I can't do that...
01:08:26there's nothing.
01:08:30There.
01:08:31See, you can add cowardice to my list of offences.
01:08:35And your friend brought you home the other night.
01:08:38I didn't see a coward.
01:08:41Just a man beat up too often and for too long, maybe.
01:08:46You're not yellow.
01:08:50You're just blue.
01:08:55Moss?
01:08:56You know you're moped.
01:08:57I need to ask a favour.
01:08:58Hello?
01:08:59Anyone here?
01:09:12Anyone here?
01:09:13Anyone here?
01:09:14Anyone?
01:09:15Anyone here?
01:09:17No.
01:09:18No.
01:09:19No.
01:09:20No.
01:09:21No.
01:09:22No.
01:09:23I don't know.
01:09:53I don't know.
01:10:23Could we have one of you as a couple?
01:10:28That's it.
01:10:29Big smile.
01:10:30Big smile.
01:10:37Big smile.
01:10:38Big smile.
01:10:39Big smile.
01:10:40Big smile.
01:10:48Big smile.
01:10:49It's you.
01:10:50Who did you think it was?
01:10:51Some couple of bastards from a few weeks since.
01:10:52What bastards?
01:10:53Never got a good enough look.
01:10:57Two of them, though.
01:10:58Big saloon car parked up back by the cabin.
01:11:00It's all right.
01:11:01It's all right.
01:11:02It's licensed.
01:11:03You're licensed to own it, Mr. Fisher.
01:11:05Not to take pot shots at strangers.
01:11:06Trespassers.
01:11:07Trespassers.
01:11:08Trespassers.
01:11:09My old man bought the land when the camp closed.
01:11:10Not that it's worth anything.
01:11:11Should I like to come fishing?
01:11:12When was it?
01:11:13These two trespassers?
01:11:14Uh, fortnight last Friday.
01:11:15One of them, there was a lot of people.
01:11:16Yeah.
01:11:17That's all right.
01:11:18It's licensed.
01:11:19Yeah.
01:11:20You're licensed to own it, Mr. Fisher.
01:11:21Not to take pot shots at strangers.
01:11:23Trespassers.
01:11:24My old man bought the land when the camp closed.
01:11:29Not that it's worth anything.
01:11:31Should I like to come fishing?
01:11:33When was it?
01:11:34These two trespassers.
01:11:35Uh, fortnight last Friday.
01:11:43One of them was down by eight.
01:11:46He logged something into the water.
01:11:49I'd give him a warning shot.
01:11:51He should have seen the bugger run.
01:11:54Would you recognize them if you saw them again?
01:11:57One by the water, probably.
01:12:02Mm.
01:12:05You got there, then.
01:12:13A hearty round of applause for our lovely ladies.
01:12:25And as the competitors make their way around the pool,
01:12:28let me introduce you to tonight's judges.
01:12:31Star of radio and television,
01:12:34it's What's My Lines' Lady Isabel Barnett.
01:12:39Racing driver, Danny Griffin.
01:12:43Who do you fancy to win, hmm?
01:12:45The competition.
01:12:46Miss Great Britain, Diana Day!
01:12:51When I was a child,
01:12:52my father took me to a county show.
01:12:55Stockmen led beeves around a field.
01:12:57The winner got a rosette.
01:13:00The loser got a bolt through the skull.
01:13:03It's just a bit of fun, this.
01:13:05First up, number one.
01:13:08Oh, yes.
01:13:09It's all fun.
01:13:13Until the music stops.
01:13:16Mr. Todd?
01:13:17All right, just take care.
01:13:18See you later.
01:13:19Of course.
01:13:20Any news on Justin and his photographer friend?
01:13:22Mr. Thursday's still sweating him, as far as I know.
01:13:24What was all that about?
01:13:26With Todd?
01:13:27You seem very pally.
01:13:28Well, Val?
01:13:29Yeah, yeah, it was all right.
01:13:31Probably shouldn't say, but, uh,
01:13:32that social event we were talking about,
01:13:33the meet and greet.
01:13:35Todd was at the...
01:13:37All right.
01:13:38Get me down.
01:13:39It wasn't anything like you said.
01:13:40It's no different to a sort of rugby club do, really.
01:13:42It was all very relaxed.
01:13:44What was this?
01:13:45A pub out at Tame?
01:13:46Yeah.
01:13:47Lodge meets above the saloon, apparently,
01:13:48every Wednesday.
01:13:49Doomsday Arms.
01:13:50It was very picturesque.
01:14:03Take a run out there some time.
01:14:05Doomsday Arms.
01:14:07That's very picturesque.
01:14:08They could run out there some time.
01:14:20I think the returning officer's ready.
01:14:22Okay, just one moment, just one moment.
01:14:25Captain Batten.
01:14:27I wonder if I might have a moment of your time.
01:14:30I'm afraid I didn't know her name, so far as I'm aware.
01:14:34She was just a contestant.
01:14:36What was it you were on the judging panel?
01:14:38I was invited.
01:14:40They sometimes ask local businessmen to take part,
01:14:42and counselors, that sort of thing.
01:14:44So you've no private or personal association with Val Todd?
01:14:49I might have run into him here or there.
01:14:51When might that have been? The last time, say?
01:14:54Oh, not for some while.
01:14:57Recount. 38 boats in it.
01:15:00Everything all right?
01:15:02Oh, perfectly.
01:15:04Well, thank you for your time.
01:15:09Doomsday.
01:15:10Right?
01:15:11If I can ever be of service.
01:15:13So, here we are.
01:15:23The moment we have all been waiting for.
01:15:25The returning officer for the Oxford South constituency, hereby give notice of the total number.
01:15:32Number seven, Cheryl Atkinson from Gazingwell.
01:15:36Well done, Cheryl.
01:15:38The number of votes reported for each candidate is as follows.
01:15:43Operations room, can you put me through two M.O.D. Lid barracks, please?
01:15:47Revel Horatio Conservative.
01:15:5026,326 votes.
01:15:54Well done, Yolanda.
01:15:56And finally, your winner is...
01:16:01And I hereby declare that Barbara Batten is duly elected member of parliament for the constituency.
01:16:08Well done, Georgia.
01:16:09Well done, Georgia.
01:16:10Well done, Georgia.
01:16:11Well done, Georgia.
01:16:12They say behind every great man there is a woman.
01:16:28I would just like to take this opportunity to thank my husband, Archie, and our daughter, Kitty.
01:16:38Without them, I would not be standing here today.
01:16:54Evening, sir.
01:16:56Morsh, what is this?
01:16:58Telling us to park up out of sight.
01:17:00Thursday, are you in on this?
01:17:01More or less, sir.
01:17:02It's the Frieda Yellen killing, and the man off the rates of his roof, Pettifer.
01:17:06I thought we were holding this Beaufort robbery pair for that.
01:17:09In the clear, sir, of the killings at least, Delphage and his mate knocked off the trove by themselves, purely for gain.
01:17:15Frieda Yellen passed through their hands, but that's their only connection to all this.
01:17:19Morsh?
01:17:20You were right, sir, yesterday.
01:17:21I was wrong, spectacularly so.
01:17:23Worse still, I was disrespectful to you, to Inspector Thursday and to Sergeant Chakes, and for that I apologise unreservedly.
01:17:30You were not yourself.
01:17:31Thank you for saying so, sir, but I suspect the truth is I was myself all too much.
01:17:35It won't happen again.
01:17:36So what's the caper dragging us out of our kip at Sparrows?
01:17:38What, like I said, I was wrong about most all of it. It wasn't Pettifer had it upside down. It was me. 81086 wasn't 81086, but I couldn't see past the theft that Beaufort. I overthought it. It was 98018 all along. It's a lodge number.
01:17:53Captain Archie Batten and Val Todd are members of lodge number 98018, sir. Also known as the Doomsday Lodge. D-Day.
01:18:00You had that right.
01:18:01Yeah, if I did, it was by luck, not by judgement. I misread the context.
01:18:04Val Todd and Captain Batten?
01:18:06Conspired to murder Frieda Yellen and John Pettifer, sir. Though I doubt either of them committed the act themselves. That fell to another, but Frieda Yellen was killed right here in this cabin.
01:18:15Val Todd knew the place from his days as an entertainment officer.
01:18:20Moss, are you sure about this? These men are pillars of Oxford society.
01:18:25Proof of the pudding, sir. Best get out of sight.
01:18:45Well, not so important. You wanted to see me. Eh? You're the one who called this one. We must meet up. 0400. You know where. Don't call me.
01:19:02That's the message you sent me. Actually, it's the same message that I sent both of you. One signed with an A and one with a V.
01:19:09What is this? This, Mr. Todd, is conspiracy to murder. The three of you plotted and executed the killing of Frieda Yellen and John Pettifer.
01:19:18Oh. This is madness. That's what I thought at first, but we spoke tonight to the maitre d' of the hotel where the Henley heat of the beauty contest was held.
01:19:27He confirmed a record of a dinner reservation for two made there in your name on the night of the competition.
01:19:32We showed him a photograph of Frieda Yellen. He confirmed she was your dinner companion.
01:19:36It was just supper. I felt sorry for her. She'd taken not winning the competition quite hard.
01:19:42There was more to it than that. She'd remembered your name from the letter you'd written, offering your condolences upon the death of her father.
01:19:50When did she bring it up? Before or after?
01:19:53You knew my dad. In the war. Private Sperling. You sent my mum ever such a nice letter.
01:20:03I don't doubt you denied it. But Frieda wasn't the kind of young woman to just leave it at that. She wrote to the regiment, seeing if they had any photographs in the archive of you and her father together. They've kept her letter on file.
01:20:25Of course. Having taken her stepfather's name, you'd no way of knowing before you slept with her that Frieda Yellen was in fact Frieda Sperling. Your own daughter.
01:20:36You couldn't risk her finding that out. See, it wasn't Private Sperling who died in the war, but Captain Archibald Batten. You'd got Frieda's mother pregnant and done the decent thing, but you didn't love her. So when Captain Batten died on long-range patrol, you saw an opportunity.
01:20:57You took his identity. His rank. Created a new life for yourself. Married. Bigamously. You even wrote home as Captain Batten to offer your condolences to Elspeth Sperling.
01:21:09Your own widow still mourning for you. If Frieda had discovered the truth, it would have brought ruin not only upon yourself but also upon your new wife and family.
01:21:17You couldn't let that happen, so you approached Mr. Todd to get you out of a hole. And why not? By introducing you to Frieda Yellen, it could be argued that he'd got you in that hole in the first place.
01:21:26Now, wait a minute. You needed someone you could trust. Someone you could rely on to keep their mouth shut. Who better than a member of a society who relies upon secrecy for its very existence?
01:21:37Your brother Mason, Val Todd. You misunderstand the nature of our fellowship.
01:21:41But not the nature of business. If Mrs. Batten were elected, she'd be well placed to further your interests.
01:21:47You might have got away with it, too. But murder will out. We've got your wife to thank for that.
01:21:53She thought you were having an affair with Diana Day, so she hired Pettifer to keep tabs on you.
01:21:58He saw you collect Frieda from the station and followed you here.
01:22:01You go in there, darling. I'll be with you in a second.
01:22:04Okay.
01:22:07I imagine she thought you were giving her another shot at fame and fortune.
01:22:11But she was walking to her death.
01:22:17Don't bring me into this.
01:22:19You are in this. Up to your neck.
01:22:21You'd planned to dump her body in the river. Only you were disturbed.
01:22:38So you had to think of somewhere else. Somewhere with strictly controlled access. Not only to a few academics at Beaufort.
01:22:57And, of course, yourself. The pest control officer hired in 63 to rid the college of its rat problem.
01:23:03Evening coming on. Light fading. A flashbulb would have betrayed Pettifer's presence.
01:23:14But this was an opportunity too good to miss. So he came back in the daytime to make his record.
01:23:21He took just enough photographs to make you think that perhaps he had more he was keeping back.
01:23:25So you're arranged to meet for the payoff.
01:23:28With all eyes on the pageant on the board, it was the perfect opportunity.
01:23:31Go on.
01:23:36If the roof of the rates office seemed an odd rendezvous, Pettifer wasn't concerned.
01:23:41He'd already left his evidence in a secret place.
01:23:44In exchange for the money, he'd hand over the porn ticket, but he never got the chance.
01:23:52So you sent someone to his office to see if there were any copies.
01:23:54Luckily for me, Mr. Batten isn't quite so well versed in wielding a cosh as Mr. Frisco, else I might not be here.
01:24:01I didn't want to...
01:24:06Shut up!
01:24:08I had a necklace by now if they had any proof.
01:24:10Proof?
01:24:12Beyond the fact that you came here this morning, Morse's message made no mention of a rendezvous beyond you know where.
01:24:18Decent brief will rip that to shreds.
01:24:19Perhaps.
01:24:21But he'll have a harder time with your cigar.
01:24:29You didn't think we'd come looking for a scene of crime, but I doubt anyone else in the past two weeks has smoked a Romeo and Julieta here.
01:24:36It wasn't meant to happen.
01:24:37Shut your mouth.
01:24:38It was just meant to scare her off.
01:24:39Maybe.
01:24:40But that's not how it went.
01:24:41But...
01:24:42You think...
01:24:43My own daughter.
01:24:44My daughter.
01:24:45All right.
01:24:46Take them now.
01:24:48All right.
01:25:02Take them now.
01:25:03all this over some little nobody from nowhere everybody's something Frida Yelland had people
01:25:23who loved her yeah that cigar back could go missing couldn't it evidence disappears all
01:25:29the time right what I'm trying to say is it's still not too late for you it just depends on what on
01:25:38whether you want powerful friends or powerful enemies a bunch of overgrown school boys playing
01:25:42with the dressing up box you really don't have a clue do you you cross these people they will bring
01:25:50you down but not before they've destroyed everything you hold dear colleagues friends family
01:25:59every action has its consequence
01:26:29you
01:26:59And it will be an opportunity not to thank Oxford City Police
01:27:11for their vital role in restoring the trove to its rightful faith.
01:27:29Copley Barnes came here near four. Said he'd remember you.
01:27:45Vainglorious feel like that? Doubt it. Too self-obsessed by heart.
01:27:51I can't help feeling like I've missed something.
01:27:54You have. You're around. And it wouldn't be the first time.
01:27:58You don't want to let a little tri-pound like Todd bother you.
01:28:02I'm not. Good.
01:28:04Because his salt's not a pound. And shit's tuppence.
01:28:08As my grandma used to say.
01:28:12Northerner.
01:28:16Right.
01:28:21Punch and meat.
01:28:28Shanahan will run.
01:28:29Lanahan would run.
01:28:44Been to a quiet man.
01:28:46Nothing can happen, even though.
01:28:48Thousands are broken all of these stairs.
01:28:51To the third and third place it's not been found and ...
